Education and Science

Education enables social participation and social mobility and contributes to personal prosperity. It is hence particularly important to us to participate in education and to open educational institutions to new target groups. One aspect of this is the penetrability between vocational training and university education. A second aspect affects continuing education – particularly scientific advanced education – which is supposed to offer new options for reorientation and continued development beyond the curriculum vitae. Scientific continuing education is supposed to be intended for persons who already have their first university diploma as well as also such persons – with professional qualifications – who would like to acquire their first university diploma in this manner.

The vocational training – particularly the dual system of vocational training characteristic for Germany – contributes substantially to successful employment market integration and to the innovativeness of companies. At the same time, university education is becoming more and more important, for example, through “scientification” and professionalisation of activities. It remains a challenge to repeatedly keep vocational training and university education in a synergistic relationship.

Education, Research and Innovation

Future developments in the education and research segments should produce – in the terms of the ‘Knowledge Triangle’ – even stronger synergies between the functions of ‘research’, ‘education’ and ‘innovation’. Examples of this are the continuing education formats (work-based learning, research-based learning) which have been integrated into innovation or research projects.
